Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

That said, I'd still get a Leader instead. I just think they look better for about the same money.
I'm pretty sure it's just the aluminum forks, the carbon ones seem fine from what I've heard.
